[edit] after actually seeing it: no, really, not anywhere close to the greatest. It's a pretty bad 404 page for a number of reasons, at least two of them being the Flash. hmm… full-page Flash, so it can’t possibly be the best anything.

None of the Google hits seem to be what I'm talking about... you could click your way through a seating chart into strange interactives like a floating skeleton/xray following the cursor, with a linked story about a flight with missing time and missing people... it was remarkable.
